Clear nighttime skies in Madagascar allow the glow of the Milky Way to shine behind…

Clear nighttime skies in Madagascar allow the glow of the Milky Way to shine behind baobab trees. The sky’s clarity is largely a result of fresh ocean breezes that sweep across the island. No large cities exist within a thousand miles of this site. This thirty-second exposure captures Milky Way--it is a long enough exposure to record the light but short enough to limit blurring.
